Title: Just an Idea
Post by Tadpole on 05/21/03 at 07:40:52

Was thinking up of new spells for a mage and was also thinking about mages disadvantage to mages. So i was thinking about maybe a spell that would lower the opponents wisdom? maybe allowing them to beam for more...Don't know what the spell could be called but like the post says. Just an idea :P

Yes this is a good idea, but it shouldn't be lowered by more than 2.It should cost a nice chunk of mana to cast as well.

Not exactly reduce the other persons stats literally lol....i meant kinda of like divine light reduces the opponents chance to hit, but it dont literally bring down your stats. So kind of like just make them less resistant to magical spells.

That spell rocked, but was annoying at the same time.. I remember being the last person left in a mosh vs Ebony, with my level 28 mage.. slow really is a pain in the ass lol.

Didnt you think to cast Haste you twit. Since haste was the counter spell for Slow.

And then he casts slow again and with his extra stamina/mp he can cast it more, your pretty stupid aren't you.

LOL...Slow cost more mp to cast then Haste. So if you just kept it up. You had a better chance of beating him. Also, didnt you think to cast Slow on him?

Also, obviously he was going to beat you. Not many people did stand up to Ebony. Although you could have prolonged the fight, and hoped he got d/c.

BUT...thats the old game, soooo...WHO CARES!! ;D

I get one stam back, then I cast haste, no more slow, but no more stam. Then with his stam he casts slow again, and then two more normal attack (we both had the spell on that stops spells from hurting you) This happens over and over, nothing I could do about it, I die. Sometimes I did wait for stamina though, that didn't really help much, still lost lol.

hehe, anyone remember my pic that had ebonys monkey, with a sniper scope thing being aimed at him? :P That pic ruled lol

I dunno about your idea Chris. Every class against the same class balances out very well.
Mages on Mages are good fights, with the balance between pots and mana being paramount.

Also when a Mage fights a Mage. They are fizzles, partial resists, resists and counterspells.
With the added spell of reducing wisdom, or increasing a resist rate.
Once again Mage on Mage, both mages would cast it on each other making the duel balanced again (If I'm not clear on that point, ask and I shall elaborate).

Also the point your making would be to make Mages roundable by other Mages. I admit that a level 30 Mage should be able to take apart parties, and lower level mages with ease if used correctly.

I do think however, a vamparic spell, mana leech wepon etc. could be introduced so a little more thought and tactics would need to be used with Mage duels.

On a side note to Mordakai. If you had also casted slow, and used haste and use 1/2 stamina to attack you'd have both been equal. However I understand he had 1 more stamina. So eventually he would have won, unless throughout the mosh he used more pots and mana. Then you could have won.

And my mage had pretty poor stats lol, I was training up a new one at the time with seriously good stats though.
